The Forever Winter

It's a 3rd person extraction shooter with its own unique vibe and visuals, but unfortunately, it's just not fun to play because of clunky, stupid mechanics and terrible optimization (not just performance-wise, but also bugs and awful AI logic). The devs flex about being AAA veterans, but it's basically just hot air. Since I last played over a year ago, absolutely nothing has changed, and it doesn't look like anything will because the devs are just talkers. People keep saying The Forever Winter has potential, but as is usually the case, nobody is actually going to realize that potential, and I see zero point in buying 'potential' just to play a broken game. I don't recommend buying this game or supporting these people because their roadmap is unclear, and what they actually do doesn't match what they claim. Just try the demo or play it for under 1-2 hours and refund it if you don't like it. Those first two hours show you literally everything the game and its gameplay loop have to offer.

Super janky which makes it frustrating to play. I realise it is in early access, but they released it in this state, so I am reviewing it in this state. Hopefully, it'll hugely improved by 1.0. Hold off until then.

Nur Versprechungen sonst nichts. Das spiel funktioniert im Kern, irgendwie. Ich schaue alle paar Monate mal rein ob sich was geändert hat. Allerdings kann man meißt einfach ein weiteres Skin-Pack kaufen und der Helikopter verschwindet immer noch im Boden oder im Berg. Gegner hängen einfach fest und glitschen durch den Boden, schießen wild herum, treffen nix oder machen kein schaden. Es gibt genau eine Schuss- Animation/Sound/VFX für alle Gegner. Die Welt ist aus Assets zusammengesteckt und überhaupt nicht optimiert man fällt durch Löscher bleibt an Kleinigkeiten hängen. Gameplay Basics werden einfach nicht umgesetzt. Wirklich Schade. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass sich die Entwickler hier mit ihrer vermeintlichen "Erfahrung" in großen Entwicklerstudios und Titeln die sie dort erworben haben brüsten aber diese nicht praktisch anwenden können. Worlbuilding ist gut, für ein Buch, aber für ein Spiel gehört leider mehr dazu. Schade, enttäuschend.

游戏画面独一档，当初就是被这个美术吸引了入的，其它就一言难尽，打击感一般，并且全员肌无力，前期经验宝贵，基本都加生存的技能了，所以很憋屈，而且你的弹药金贵而稀少，一但进战就会一直消耗而敌人的好兄弟无穷无尽所以还是只有避战而逃，喜欢画面及美术的可以等打折入，其他就不建议了，还有这个游戏不是搜打撤！不是搜打撤！不是搜打撤！重要的事情要说三遍千万不要被它的宣传视频骗了，这就是个老鼠模拟器，你就是这只老鼠，是个人看见都要往死里打，所以请做好一只老鼠的本分，胆小谨慎，阴暗爬行，偷到物品尽快撤离，对了这游戏的任务指引完全没有，加上中文翻译有问题，基本靠猜在哪去做，以及整么做，没有大地图没有小地图，没有任何的指引，一玩一个不吱声。。。。，如果以上的屎您都能吃的话那就无脑入吧。。。。。。。。。。

В утробе бездны выживая, На пустошах войны блуждая, Ища, что можно взять с собой — Пытаешься вернуть смысл жизни свой. Но всё приводит к отчуждению, Разумной части бытия — забвению, Здесь правило царит одно, Какой пучины встретишь дно? Война не кончилась, и ждёт, Пока последний человек умрёт, А вслед за ним и механизм, Чей кровью ненасытен организм. И поглотит всё тишина, То будет эпитафии волна, Ведь индульгенция одна - Смерть очищает всех сполна. В конечном счёте, умирая, Забившись в угол, не моргая, Лишь доживая краткий срок, Преподнеси к лицу курок — Искорени своей души порок.

Approach the direction of map transition point, encounter a group of cyborgs. Kill cyborgs. Re-approach the area, encounter another group of cyborgs. Barely kill cyborgs. "Probably all gone now." Approach the same area again, encounter another group of cyborgs. Get killed by cyborgs. Hmm... infinite enemy spawn area? Cheap, no thanks. No excuse for that in a game like this. Enemy AI is also terrible. Fix the jank. Would refund if I could. edit: tried a few more times to give the game another chance. Really disappointing to see a game with such potential get things so very wrong. Difficulty balance is another big issue. First level, Tunnel, you'll encounter some groups of enemies. Generally pretty easy. Suddenly, in another round on the same map, you'll get botted by them in .5 seconds. Really? This game's weakest area is that which is most important in a single-player PvE: AI. Infinite spawns, enemies spawning on you, and completely unbalanced and inconsistent AI difficulty is not a good experience. There is also no indicator as to which items are usable for base upgrades and which should just be sold which is silly in a game all about looting. So much potential but a polished turd is still a turd.

建議要買的人快逃，不要浪費錢養這種遊戲廠商，讓他倒閉!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1.遊玩中有機會發生BUG角色無法瞄準、無法跑步、無法蹲下、無法開背包，你是要玩家怎麼玩? 2.躲掩體後架槍瞄準有機會視角嚴重鬼畜抽動，和那爛到不行的射擊手感跟回饋感，第三人稱視角也是邪門到不行，製作組是有視力障礙，綁那甚麼鬼視角。 3.人物移動嚴重臃腫，方向控制還會突然卡住不走，攀爬判定也是爛到不行，然後你他娘的還給我搞跑酷地圖，貴公司想出這點子的天才，要不要一邊吃屎一邊玩看看?不要自己沒玩過就丟出來要消費者吃ㄟ。 4.新手引導不知道是哪位反社會人格天才做的，有跟沒有一樣，任務提示就是猜謎語，你做個引導圖標很難嗎?是做個提示圖標會讓你中風是不是? 5.貴公司沒有能力做好遊戲就把IP轉讓給其他有能力做好遊玩體驗的廠商可以嗎? 6.人物蝦雞八醜，還不能用遊戲內貨幣買自訂Skin，一定要你儲值花錢才有好看的。 7.看起來就像大學數位媒體設計系的畢專，但人家學生1年的時間都可以做的比你好遊戲，然後你還要拖到現在兩年了還在EA然後一堆BUG還敢拿出來賣?丟臉! 8.那些說遊戲美術很讚的真的不懂，就廢墟跟垃圾山每張圖都像巴西平民窟，你跟我說美術很頂?就一群三流藝術家想跨行搞遊戲，屬實稀爛。

the game is just way too early access and i don't think that it will ever get finished. everything feels stiff and the ai is horrible... they run in circles and have a very basic detection mechanic...
